According to the representative of Canon Vietnam Onishi, the “Lighting up the countryside” project started from 2013. After 10 years, Canon Vietnam has sponsored nearly 220 kilometers of lighting system in Hanoi, Thai Nguyen, Bac Ninh, Bac Giang, Hai Duong, Phu Tho, Yen Bai, Thanh Hoa, Lang Son, Tuyen Quang provinces. “Through this project, I hope that more and more streets in small villages will be lightened up to ensure the traffic safety for local people,” Onishi added.
Earlier on August 14, 20, and 21, Canon Vietnam cooperated with the Youth Union chapters of Hai Duong province’s Chi Linh district, Hanoi’s Soc Son district, and Vinh Phuc province’s Yen Lac district to organize ceremonies to hand over the lighting system to Hoang Tan ward in Chi Linh, Hien Ninh commune in Soc Son; Binh Dinh commune in Yen Lac.
As scheduled, Canon Vietnam will continue the program in three communes in Bac Giang province, five communes in Bac Ninh province, and other communes in Thai Nguyen, Bac Giang, and Lang Son provinces.
Totally, in 2022, 35km of lighting system in 14 communes of seven provinces in “Lighting up the countryside” project has been installed with a total investment of VND 780 million sponsored by Canon Vietnam. Especially, from this year, Canon Vietnam will cooperate with Honda’s agencies in districts to organize safety driving training program and free oil change for local people in localities where the project is implemented.
